Recently I saw an article regarding some changes in the BSD license.
The article in question is published on www.freebsdrocks.com and goes
like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
from ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
July 22, 1999
To All Licensees, Distributors of Any Version of BSD:
As you know, certain of the Berkeley Software Distribution ("BSD")
source code files require that further distributions of products
containing all or portions of the software, acknowledge within their
advertising materials that such products contain software developed
by UC Berkeley and its contributors.
Specifically, the provision reads:
" 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use
of this software must display the following acknowledgement:
This product includes software developed by the University of
California, Berkeley and its contributors."
Effective immediately, licensees and distributors are no longer
required to include the acknowledgement within advertising
materials. Accordingly, the foregoing paragraph of those BSD Unix
files containing it is hereby deleted in its entirety.

Probably not everyone is aware of this, therefore I mention it this way,
just for your information.
